An offshore drilling push in Alaska meant to showcase the Trump era drive for more oil and gas drew a blank. A federal auction for drilling rights on more than 1 million acres in Cook Inlet ended this week without a single bid, undercutting claims the industry is eager to explore there. (NYT)

Zelensky has done everything he possibly can to satisfy this admin while he fights a war of survival for his people. And the Trump admin has done nothing but repeatedly treat him with disrespect, scorn & ridicule. 2 days ago, Trump called him “PT Barnum.” This is how Z responds.

Women outvote men, but 69M married women have names that don't match their birth certificates. This bill turns paperwork into a weapon against their voice. Don't let them be silenced at the polls.
☎️ your senators: (202) 224-3121 Demand they protect our right to vote!

Out of all the chaos, what stands out to me that is positive is that "CHARGES ARE COMING FOR FEDERAL AGENTS" in Minnesota.

So much winning for your 🟠 leader 🟠

Let Milano Cortina be the last Olympics sponsored by fossil fuels The world’s most visible celebration of snow and ice is littered with branding from the industry that is profiting from its destruction.

We are asking the IOC to establish a formal dialogue with athlete reps, to ground sponsorship decisions in climate science and to adopt a clear policy excluding fossil fuel companies from Olympic sponsorships, write Andi Naude and Ingrid Liepa www.nationalobserver.com/2026/03/04/o...

Canadian animal advocates want sale of animal cruelty videos made illegal Earlier this year, two Winnipeg residents were charged after graphic videos surfaced showing acts of animal abuse. And while the cruelty itself is illegal under Canada’s Criminal Code, the case is now...

The distribution of disturbing animal torture videos should be BANNED. Bill C-16 gives the opportunity to close this legal loophole & protect vulnerable kittens, hamsters, & other animals from being sadistically harmed for the camera. #CdnPoli

Hey John, great to meet an avid footie fan and the Cats to boot. Let's hope this season they take it all the way.

We get the games tape delayed, three a weekend so that is about all we have the time for, so I am always excited when Geelong is one of the games. #AFL

PS: NZ is on my bucket list

The moon going from full moon to a red moon and starting to go back to a normal full moon, then my camera battery door fell off.

Here's my first edit on the March 3rd Lunar Eclipse. 15 moon shots, 1 foreground. Taken over a 3 hourish period.

Who’s going to pay for marine cleanups? Provincial, federal cuts leave N.S. organizations footing the bill | CBC News The head of a marine cleanup organization says she and her team will work with or without pay to keep Nova Scotian waters free of trash — but the lack of funding feels like a gut punch.

Reaching peak short-sightedness. Argghh! Over the years I've worked with amazing, award winning students who've so much to give to ocean pollution problems & solutions. Embarrassed by gov't policy! Sad day for the ocean!

Scott Moe has been the Premiere of Saskatchewan since 2018 and his party is Conservative...so I am not the least bit surprised by these stats, as horrendous as they are.

Until the good folks of this province boot him out, they will not see real change in #childpoverty rates.

Ben Mulroney is the Charlie Kirk of Canada . It’s literally all over his timeline. Hey @globalnews.ca did you not know this about Ben Mulroney?

One data centre or one million homes? Mapping Ontario's proposed hyperscaler boom Canada’s National Observer found and drew from multiple sources to put together a map of planned data centres in Ontario, and found at least 15 projects with a combined capacity of 2,202 MW currently ...

The government wouldn't give us a list of data centres seeking power in Ontario.

So, we built one ourselves.

What @rorywh.bsky.social and I found: at least 15 projects drawing a combined 2,202 MW: more electricity than 2 million homes.

It's a beautiful day here in St. John's! The sun is finally shining and we were lucky enough to meet Sable. He is a three year old Newfoundland dog that greets visitors and tourists at Signal Hill! Thanks for the picture Sable! 📸

Whose glued to their sets this upcoming week?

Up next, two Newfoundland Labrador teams, the house is going to be a rockin 🥌

“I did not dedicate my life to advocating for women and girls just so that I could be lectured by a bunch of pedophile protectors.”

A children's hospital is renamed for Dolly Parton and hopes to transform pediatric care in Tennessee Dolly Parton’s name might inspire full-throated sing-a-longs to her working woman’s anthem “9 to 5,” or evoke memories of thrilling days spent at her Dollywood theme park.

“Dolly Parton Children’s Hospital did not share how much Parton donated as part of the naming announcement. But Matt Schaefer, its president and CEO, said her support would ensure ‘every child who walks through our doors receives the treatment they deserve.’”

GOD BLESS DOLLY PARTON
